March 3, 2012 • Wilsonville, Oregon

Sub League Season is Here! Now celebrating it’s 8th season, the 2012 Submission Wrestling League will begin on March 3 with the first of two qualifier tournaments. Athletes must place first through fifth in one or both of the two qualifiers in order to compete in Championship on June 2.

This is Sub League’s classic format, where matches end in a win, lose, or draw… there are no points within a match, either one athlete gets a submission for the win, or there is a draw.

Registration will open in a few days. Join our mailing list and “Like” Sub League on Facebook to stay up-to-date.
